Rebel, the episode was shown on the TV. It's a fact. He was hit while performing a sertain figure with Tanya, not just skating around.
Wrong again. It's called warm-ups. There were 2 other pairs skating with them- on an ice rink that normally supports only 1 program.
Sale was setting up for a double toe loop, looking at her partner.
She never even saw the guy.
Right-o, a little candian chick beat the crap out of your poor widdle Russian. Gimmie a break. If that was the case- an intentional collision- do you really think he'd immediately skate over to help her up?
Please, shut up about Russian media. It's not Soviet media, it's in some ways much more free then your "democratic press" all bought by corporations and financial groups
Not even goin' there.
Every other country in the world reported it as an "accidental collision during warmups".
Russia chose to write it up as "Russian skater attacked during warm up!"
Are y'all still stuck on Tonya Harding, or somethin?
So far it's your media that didn't say a single word about Tanya's trauma and didn't show the above mentioned episode. Not to say about all the lies about life in USSR and Russia that they feed you for the last 50 years.
Ignorance MUST be bliss. Let me clue ya in on a little secret.
National Geographic did a HUGE investigative report on Russia- focussing on life before and after the fall of the Communist party. I can't count the number of specials, reports, and even personal stories I've heard.
As a matter of fact, they DID show the collision, and they DID make a HUGE mention of Tanya's blow to the head. NBC even did a special before the skate on her. 20 minutes non-stop of how she came through.
Did Russia forget to mention the Uzbekistan girl's broken foot?
Just curious.
Next time you'll face radiational threat - feel free to open all windows and never wash hands. What do you think they were supposed to say?
I can't even BELIEVE you're defending this. Time to throw the hammer down-
When a nuclear reactor goes kablooie, you evactuate every nearby villiage, town, and city, until you can contain and control the radiation levels. Not to mention destroy all crops affected. Livestock too, but only after extensive tests. Strawberries were the size of apples. Apples were the size of cantelopes. That musta been cool, hehehe!
Families only found out a friggin MONTH after the thing blew that there was even a 'small technical problem'.
Sorry, I only wished to show you how this episode is shown here, but as usual there's another comic-book popular history reader who always knows better.
First off, I didn't say I knew how it was being presented in Russia. I'm just saying it's offensive how they're presenting it.
FYI, compadre- my info comes mostly from Russians who immigrated, people who lived there.
If you call the testimony of your former countrymen/women comic-book history, that's your call.
FWIW, life has been really improving in Russia, I guess. Just looked up a few things, and it seems like Internet access if growing, foriegn food restaraunts are starting up, and people are enjoying themselves a lot more.
Can't wait till ya get to the point of free enterprise. Russia will return to superpower status, mark my words. But only after the corruption ends. That's the only thing that's holdin her back.
